Really lovely tour with Livio. Unfortunately we weren't able to go to Stabiae because of a change in hours for the site (outside of the company's control and they contacted me promptly). The company offered a more in-depth tour of the villa at Oplontis instead, which I appreciated. I got a lot of thoughtful detail about the villa, as well as the area and Vesuvian sites in general. The villa itself is stunning and well worth the trip if you love Roman archaeology.
Definitely glad I did this and would recommend this tour, just double check with the company before selecting your time slot.

What a splendid day trip with a fantastic guide. I had spent a week exploring Pompeii and Herculaneum on my own but after having read about these two Roman villas in Lonely Planet and elsewhere, I decided I needed a guide to give me the most details and insights into them. Both of these villas complement each other and help flesh out the human, artistic, and emotional tragedy or the Vesuvius eruption. The frescoes and art at both villas is simply stunning. Well worth taking--and my guide was super knowledgable and informative, pointing out small details I might have otherwise missed or glossed over. He was super generous, too, taking a few pictures and his time as I moved along with him. Great day trip and well worth it!

Assolutamente una meta da fare, è davvero poco conosciuta eppure è un qualcosa di unico, una perla davvero rara, consiglio di seguire soprattutto con una guida locale che possa spiegare il tutto nei minimi particolari

ma femme et moi nous devions visiter 3 villas : Villa de Poppée, Villa San Marco, Villa Arianna. Mais on n'a pu visiter que les 2 premières car la villa Arianna était fermée depuis la veille.
Autrement, notre guide Nello, archéologue était absolument super, extrêmement compétent, passionné et très gentil
